For Lastpass, I use a Rofi-based frontend on Linux.

A keybinding pops up a search box, I search for the entry I want and paste it into Qutebrowser.

I like that it works outside the browser-- so I can unlock it once and works across all browsers.

Also, I disable autofill anyway. Lastpass has had multiple security issues with their autofill feature in the past and I don't trust it.

I sincerely doubt that many retail investors expect to make money on this. I have a couple buddies who made robinhood after seeing this on the news just for the opportunity to make a hedgefund bleed. I was in the same boat, but I already had an account.

No matter how paternalistic the intent may have been on Robinhood's end, the message is all the same to us on the outside: the game only has rules when we get to win it

Then one of two thing is true.

1) they are lying to you. Look at how much the stock has traded, Its alot but its nothing compared to how much SPY trades in a year. There just wasn't' anywhere near enough trading volume to make an entire year in one week even if they participated in every trade that Gamestop had this past week.

2) they lost money last year so any profit beats last year's pnl?

"I don’t think this is like the French Revolution."

Did the French Revolution feel like a revolution when the Bastille was stormed? I'm NOT equating the the two, but theorizing that revolutions aren't always fully planned at first. This (and similar mob actions over the last few years) feel more like peasant uprisings: local and lack cohesiveness to do more than a single action.
There's a lot of retirement money tied up in stocks right now that should be in less risky investments. People should distrust stocks if they're going to need the money the near/mid term, but monetary policy in recent years has driven people to stocks in search of yields that have dried up in bonds etc. This has a feedback effect where now the government is hyper sensitive to stock market downturns, for fear that millions will lose their retirement savings.
I dig his style!
While the business dying means maximum profit for the shorters, the act of shorting isn't killing the business in any way; the price of shares does not affect the revenues of GME nor their workers jobs, it has some impact on the bonuses of the top managers and that's it.

The shorters are predicting that the business will fail (and hoping for their predictions to come true), but they aren't causing the failure, so it's misleading to say that they are trying to kill the business as long as the only thing they're doing is shorting the stock. There's a very big gap between hoping that a rich uncle dies because you'd get some inheritance and actually trying to kill him.

My understanding of the use of FPGAs and ASICs that are used to speed up neural networks (such as those in phones) is that they are simply designed to do the types of calculations used for NNs more quickly (matrix operations) and generally at a reduced level of precision.
This is very different from a memristor approach where the structure of the network itself would be represented in the silicon.
I also think it's unfair to compare the two because it took decades of work to get CMOS transistors to where they are today. I imagine that once commercial applications for memristors appear many optimizations/improvements will present themselves.
I wonder if the company still exists. I'm seriously considering trying to get one. I'd kill for some tamales, but I never make them because it's an insane amount of work.
What's ironic is in previous times WSB would have gone private long ago...

Pre "WSBGod" the sub hated sudden influxes of new users who'd ask dumb questions and make lazy attempts at humor. GME is the perfect example of a time when the sub would normally go straight to private with flaired users only allowed to enter

Now post that the community has gotten even noiser and less coherent so I think they've given up and just decided to roll with it.

I've known this for decades. When Bill Gates started publishing Smart Basic (or whatever) in magazines, I got a copy and saw what crap it was. I could do better.

Why didn't I? That was my very first thought. The reason was, I had to work halftime to pay tuition and buy food. I was mired in working to live. Ol Bill had a family to support him as he bought resources (ads in magazines etc), recruited staff, took meetings etc. Always a hot meal on the table when he got home from a big day.

Crypto exchanges going down during times of high volume is definitely a thing, yes. For example:

https://www.coindesk.com/coinbase-redoing-infrastructure-to-...

> During the recent bitcoin bull run, Coinbase has struggled to keep itself up during stretches of heavy volume, leading to snarky comments on Twitter and Reddit that it’s only news when the exchange doesn’t go down during peak periods. Given the exchange has filed preliminary documents for a public listing of the company’s shares, fixing its infrastructure has undoubtedly taken on an even greater urgency.

As the old saying goes, you go to war with the army you have. I have a bunch of fantastic solutions to all our problems, if only programmers would work 10 times harder for every line of code, and the project managers would be OK with that, and the business funding it would be OK with that, and society would be OK with getting 1/10th the software.

Capabilities-based stuff is really neat, but it's also really complicated to put into practice, and I live in a world where it's often a struggle to get developers to label their brand new REST interface for whether or not it's "admin only". Personally, I think a lot of that "really complicated to put into practice" is essential complexity, not incidental; anytime you sit down and really think about what the optimal permissions scheme around any even slightly non-trivial system ought to be, you generally end up with something pretty complicated. But even if the perfect system existed and you handed it to the real developers we have today, you'd still be working with people who would do whatever the simplest thing they could do to fully bypass the capabilities system is and get on with life without a moment's twinge of conscience.

I don't want to be too hard on the average programmer; contra fashionable cynicism, things are actually getting better on the decade time scale. But at the current pace, "capabilities" are probably still a decade or two away from even being "niche".
> It's not, though - rich people get in trouble for this all the time.

>But the poor suckers who bought it at $150 are going to be in big trouble.

These people could get out at this moment with a 100% return. The entire premise here is that as long as there's a ton of these short positions that need to be covered then you should have less worry about being the person who's left "holding the bag" than normal. Yes, if you hold long enough you'll regret it. And there will be plenty of people who will lose a lot of money by doing this. But you should have more confidence than normal that the floor is not going to fall out from under you in the next 24h or so.

This is exactly why people don't like Wall Street. It's smart to pay attention to the TOS pragmatically to protect yourself, but the TOS has absolutely no ethical relevance. To people with a well-adjusted ethical compass, a trading platform blocking trades is a violation of their social contract.

You should be aware that if you're citing the TOS in any context other than a court case, most people are going to like you less as a result.
My partner and I were so entertained by reading WSB last night we bought a share at $350.

I don’t particularly care if it goes to $10 tomorrow. I don’t expect to make money here. It’ll be fun to watch for a few days, maybe weeks.

We just felt a lot of solidarity with the sentiment over there, and are happy to make a small contribution to the squeeze.

It feels kind of like contributing to a Kickstarter with low chance of success.

But you know, there’s a nonzero chance it goes to $1000 before the shorts can wiggle out. That’s what makes it exciting.

In general, since watching what they did to Tesla I have no sympathy for shorts.
Iconik – Media Stats Report 2021
I've spent almost a year with Spark and I think I'm just scratching the surface now. There are so many knobs that just configuring out just the optimal cluster configuration for production jobs took weeks of testing (so much of that is dependent on the data size and specific use-case). The docs are pretty good, but really don't detail any of 'gotchas' that you'll find in production (you have google relentlessly for those), and the hacks you put in place to deal with those, well, you're on your own. Unless you have a staff that has worked with the toolset for years with it (which we don't.. I'm basically it), you will spend weeks in a try / hack loop. All that said, it's a great toolset for its intended purpose..scala is a great language, etc, etc.. but I've spent a long time 'figuring the system out'.
How? The war is basically over. Hedge funds covered at a huge loss. Many WSB members have already booked huge gains.

No need for that assumption. Equities going down is not a problem for reasonable investors. You just buy more for cheaper prices according to your schedule and wait. You still own the % of your companies. It's not worth less just because you can't temporarily sell it. It would be like saying that price of your house is fluctuating from 0 to 500k depending if there is a potential buyer today or not.

Stock market crash is only a big problem for leveraged over commited entities, very small inconvenience for people beyond accumulation phase (as they may need to sell very small % of assets in coming months) and huge opportunity for everyone else.

Stocks crashing is fantastic for a little guy. It's the same with real estate prices and it's the reason entrenched players do everything to prevent it.

Plague Inc: The Cure is out
There is no revolution in my opinion. It is the time tested pump and dump OR dump and pump and the street is behind it all in my opinion.

Sometime in Sept 2020 GME had purchased sum of shares reducing float or outstanding shares. Such purchases would create the current imbalance and the war between various parties involved.

I can not believe that the whole scheme has not been by design. I recall seeing GME pump starting right about then in Sept. I am also convinced that the shorting hedge funds could have been playing it on the up side via options. They could have sold puts; bought calls. There are a lot of dark pools and each party can have multiple arms. It is pretty naive to believe that all these hedge funds dabbling in these type of games are the sheep and not the wolves and have been silent through it all .

Both the new shareholders who are now the insiders and the hedge funds are likely to be aware of the small float that would have kick started the short covering pyramiding scheme and reddit would have provided the pawns to spawn it really fast by pumping the forums.

Don't be naive. They fundies have been hitting all the high volatility stocks with small floats + high short ratios.
No, it's not real economics. It's the little guys coming together to fight the big guys at their own game.
Zooming out above the vitriol, a few thoughts:

1) There’s a deep irony in calling yourself Robinhood - literally a guy who stole from the rich to pay the poor - and taking a move like this.

2) The 2008 financial crisis continues to have deep reverberations and has played a role in a lot of the upheaval over the past decade.

3) The Medium is the Message. This one probably deserves an essay, but if McCluhan were alive today he’d probably say that what’s really happening is society is getting buffeted against the waves of new mediums.
So then we just have to live with a police state and a corrupt government that redistributes wealth up? I mean I don't see an alternative. We're in a really bad place.
These two thoughts are incompatible:

- “We’re going to put these hedge funds into bankruptcy”

- “These hedge funds will buy all our stocks at inflated prices”

If the hedge funds can buy all the stock, they’re not at risk of going bankrupt.

And if they are at risk of going bankrupt, they can’t buy all the stock at inflated prices.

A lot of retail investors are going to lose money when this bubble pops. /r/wsb has not invented a new way for everyone to get free money.

One of the things people don't realize is that all these short squeezed companies get put into a very hard position. CEOs at these companies don't want a situation like this, as it damages the company's reputation, CEO of Tilray has talked about it when Tilray got squeezed for two months.

He said something interesting “My advice to those CEOs would be that, at times like this, your company is not your stock and your stock is not your company”.

Another things we need to realize is that there are people who will be losing their life savings or getting into debt. It doesn't matter if someone with high networth loses 1% of their wealth, but it does matter if someone in middle class loses 100% of their savings or worse bought these stocks with debt and now need to pay high interest on the losses. There have been painful situations where losses like these have caused people to have heart attacks, mental health issues and suicide.

Brokers, apps, platforms don't want their names associated with such painful situations.
Seems weird to me to blindly fire off a PR to a project I've never communicated with. I've always asked first, mainly because I don't want to waste my time if they won't give it any consideration. And also because maybe they're already working on whatever I was thinking of, or are doing it in a different way, or...
It's neither disturbing nor exactly new. The problem is more derivatives in general -- what Warren Buffet has long called "weapons of mass destruction" -- than the use of a forum.

What an absolute nonsense article. It does everything it can to miss the huge main reason people are migrating from WhatsApp.

This article is absolutely paid for by Facebook, no doubt it my mind.

I think the large majority of the cliente is fully aware that they will lose out on this long term.

So it's not about protecting the client.

If it would be about protecting your clients it would be like your care (=a utility) not allowing you to drive into the mountains for a hike (=user action) because the weather is bad (=makes action risky).

I think no one would say that this is ok or acceptable, but if the utility is a broker and the action is buying stock on a high risk it is ok?
This isn't a naked short.

A naked short is when you short a stock without first borrowing it. It is not the same thing as having shorts past 100% of outstanding shares, since a single share can be lent multiple times.
So your telling me that 0 of the partners in those SV firms above have the phone numbers of 0 these short selling hedge funds partners in their phones right now?

Most advocates argue that short-sellers help find the accurate price of a security, in service of the broader market goal of capital allocation. People who argue that markets should be long-only wind up advocating for frauds and failures to be mispriced in the market.

>> It's very simple to avoid poverty

Poverty isn't what I meant. There are people, sometimes rather well off people, who are nevertheless in economic situations that preclude marriage. For instance, some people have elderly or disabled family members which they must take care of. There is huge gap, the entire middle class, between "poverty" and not having enough money to hire 24/7 care. Others have good well-paid jobs, but jobs that mean they are located in places with male/female ratio that makes finding a partner next to impossible (China's "bachelor" villages). Still others are limited by cultural norms that do not accept marriage of persons without traditional full-time employment regardless of wealth (India, Japan). Just look at the difficulties surrounding Japan's princess. The real issue there isn't that her husband is poor, he really isn't, but that he doesn't have a traditional fulltime job.
> What SEC rule is WSB violating?

Market manipulation. Loosely, market manipulation happens when you artificially influence the price of a stock, resulting in a personal gain. Buying stock with the intention of causing a short squeeze can be interpreted to fit that definition. I believe that WSB is creating artificial demand to try to "screw over" certain institutional investors. I am not a lawyer; this is not a legal interpretation.

> Apparently, the sort of crappy market manipulation that led to the 2008 Volkswagen "short squeeze" or the 2010 "flash crash" is absolutely fine because it was driven by traders.

How were they "absolutely fine?" You do know that regulators attempted to prosecute the traders/executives responsible for the 2008 VW short squeeze [1], and successfully prosecuted a trader for the 2010 flash crash [2]? For the VW short squeeze, regulators were not able to find evidence that the traders involved intended to cause a short squeeze or engaged in any artificial demand; they actually demanded the stock because they sought to take over VW. This is also evidenced by the fact the Porsche sold stock on the open market once they released that a squeeze was happening [3].

I suspect a large part of this is due to the fact that those with wealthy parents are more likely to have a) family money to fall back on if things go wrong and b) family investment in the early days
